    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    Yes, pic taken cold. And it is most certainly not running lean! I'll pull it off, clean it up check the jets and go from there..

    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    Back again after finally getting a chance to get to where the car is being stored at the moment. Haven't had a chance to clean out the engine bay yet, so excuse it's rather dust-ridden condition.. but here are photos of the carby, which will hopefully help to ID it..

    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    Wow, overwhelmed with all the info! Will take me some time to digest! Pretty sure it's a vacuum secondary but will post pics after I've cleaned out the dust from the engine bay after its last trip that we just finished!

    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    Yep, realise they the Holley is not stock, but I was referring to the engine internals. Seems that it's been put together for external bling factor rather than having components selected for performance. Either that or it was based on what was easily obtainable. In Aus big blocks re only...

    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    Not very often it runs WOT.. more concerned about tuning for fuel efficiency at cruising speed. Will definitely take a look at the carby and suss out vacuum advance. Wouldn't surprise me if it's not hooked up properly

    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    Original engine was a 400. I have a couple of pics of the diff, bit don't know enough about them to know if it's possible to tell them apart visually, but according to the previous owner he switched out the diff. Not sure if that means he just switched the ratios or the whole diff though

    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    Thanks for your thoughts CBODY. I haven't done anything with the carby, so I guess first step would be to see what condition it's in. What's the best way to identify the diff?

    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    .. on the diff, and considering my absolute lack of any Mopar knowledge .. I'm led to believe that the diff is an 8.75, but looking on rockauto under '74 Dodge Monaco, it's only showing 8.25 and 9.25 diff parts..

    Economy & Performance - carby & diff

    For my '74 Monaco. Here's the specs. Fitted with a 440 taken from a donor '74 New Yorker. Holley 750 into a Torker. As far as I'm aware, stock as a rock block. Diff is a 8.75 fitted with 2.7:1 gearing. This is a car that's being set up for a once-a-year HARD drive. Ie, 3000 miles, 10 day trip...

    Hardtop door glass seals

    When you talk about roof rail seals, are you referring to only the seal that is attached to the door opening, that the glass seals against, or do you include the seal between the front and rear door windows that lowers/rises with the glass?

    Hardtop door glass seals

    So I have no idea what they are called.. but the rubber is well perished on the weather strip that rises with the door glass on my '74 Monaco four door hard top. Is there someone that sells suitable replacements, or is there another way to get this sorter out? And while I'm at it, I guess I...

    Welcome stiebs to FCBO!

    Hi! Let me start by saying that I'm very unfamiliar with the Chrysler/Dodge family! But I do, and will need help! I have what I believe to be the only 1974 Dodge Monaco (Bluesmobile) in Australia (The Bluesmobile). It's as close as possible to Blues Brothers movie authentic as possible, with...
